Forgetting

The brain is not like a computer.

There is no unused disk space for your future memories.
The brain is always full. For a new memory to form, an old one must be forgotten.
You never know which memory was sacrificed because that's the nature of forgetting.

Are cities like human memories?
There's not enough room for all the buildings, so if we need a new one, we have to knock down an old one.
Every time you go by a new building, your awareness of it gets stronger and your memory of what was there before gets weaker.

If you want to remember the way something used to be, you must never go there now.
